Jeff Bezos

Justin had a nice day at work yesterday. He and the 50 other MBA interns got to sit in a room and listen to Jeff Bezos (CEO of Amazon) speak. He said that it was very interesting and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Justin got the best seat in the house, front and center. And notice Jeff's stance. This is one of his trademarks....the crossed legs.


Justin also got to experience one of Jeff's other trademarks, his VLL (very loud laughs). He's a neat guy!

Justin's right behind Jeff's head in this group picture.


Justin just told me this story about this last picture last night, and I just thought it was so funny. Jeff Bezos is this really down to earth guy, despite being a very high profile CEO. They took the group picture above as Jeff was rushing off to a meeting. But after it was taken, Jeff said that it wasn't good enough. There wasn't enough energy. So he wanted another picture taken. Then he put his arms up and started yelling "Yeaaaaah!" So everyone else tried to mimic him. It's blurry, but it was such an unexpected thing for a CEO to do. It definitely took everyone by surprise!
